Meli ya asubuhi ilifika Stromness. Polly alikanyaga jiwe lenye maji. Upepo haukusimama. Mbwa alikaa kwenye gati. "Waweza kunionyesha njia?"

Bado hakujua aende wapi. Kuna visiwa kama sabini. Ni kama ishirini tu vyenye watu. "Je, waweza kuniambia mahali ninapoweza kupanda basi?" akauliza.

"Inachukua muda gani kutembea hadi katikati ya jiji?" Mbwa akaitazama barabara ile moja nyembamba. Dakika kumi na moja, akasema.

"Waweza kuniambia kama kuna matukio yoyote ya kuvutia leo?" Nyakati za meli ndizo habari hapa, akasema. Kuna kanisa dogo lililojengwa na wafungwa. Kuna kijiji chini ya mchanga.
